Spend 4 or 6 nights at T’á ish Adventures Camp

In recognition that this is the bears’ territory, Phil lets them come as close as they want, and they set the agenda. They are often seen just outside the kitchen, sleeping next to the deck, or walking up the walkway into camp – and it is this mutual understanding between man and bear that makes Bear Cave Mountain such a special place.

After a final morning in camp, you return to civilization by helicopter and Shuttle to Whitehorse. Catch your afternoon flight or stay one more night in Whitehorse until your morning departure the next day.
